Scheff’s Table – Avocado Mash for Fish
Photo by Ted Scheffler. This week, Scheff's Table recreates a local recipe. At Log Haven restaurant, chef Dave Jones prepares fish with a topping that my wife absolutely loves; so I learned to make it at home.

Cranberry Beans & Bacon Recipe
I love beans of all types but especially cranberry beans, which are similar to pinto beans. Cranberry beans also go by other names, such as borlotti bean, cargamanto bean, Roman bean, romano bean, gadhra bean, rosecoco bean and saluggia bean. I was trying to think of a side dish to make for dinner recently and remembered I had dried cranberry beans in the pantry. So I … [Read more...]
Moroccan-Style Chicken Tagine
A few years ago my wife gave me a tagine for my birthday. A tagine is an earthenware pot with a shallow, circular base and a domed or cone-shaped cover. It’s a cooking vessel that’s used all over North Africa and is especially useful for dishes—also called tajines—like this one. If you don’t have a tagine just substitute a large skillet with a lid. Tagine … [Read more...]

Simple recipe for roasted pork tenderloin
Pork Provençal I’ve been lucky to be able to spend a fair amount of time in the Provence region of France.

Garlic, rosemary, and fennel are ingredients commonly used in the region. Here is a simple recipe for roasted pork tenderloin that, … [Read more...]
Thai Shrimp Curry
Thai Shrimp Curry ... I love Thai curries and they are pretty easy to make at home as long as you get all of the ingredients prepped and ready to go. It actually takes longer to cook rice to accompany this Thai curry than to cook the curry itself. If you’d like it spicier, add some sriracha or hot chili oil to the dish. Thai Shrimp Curry ingredients: 1 Tbsp … [Read more...]
Instant Pot Tacos al Pastor
One of my favorite Mexican foods is tacos al pastor, a dish brought to Mexico by Lebanese immigrants. It is spit-grilled pork prepared in a similar manner to Greek gyros and the döner kebabs of Turkey. Making truly authentic al pastor is very time-consuming and complicated—best left to the pros. But here is a quick and easy Instant Pot version that I like very … [Read more...]
Scheff’s Table—Fried Vietnamese Spring Rolls
Les nems—Fried Vietnamese Spring Rolls My favorite working chef/restaurateur is Eric Ripert of the venerable Le Bernardin in New York City.
